* [[chicken wing tackle]] – also banned in rugby league
* [[horse-collar tackle]] – banned in gridiron football by the NFL, the NCAA, and the CFL. This tackle involves the defender reaching his hand inside the ball carrier's collar, grabbing the collar (and usually, the collar of the shoulder pads), and pulling player straight down or backwards and down. The tackle has the potential to cause severe injuries to the tackled player's neck, legs and ankles. It is considered an "equipment tackle", meaning the protective equipment used by the players is what is used to make the tackle (similarly, a face-mask tackle is considered an "equipment tackle"). The horse-collar was made infamous by Dallas Cowboys [[safety (American football position)|free safety]] Roy Williams when he performed it on Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver [[Terrell Owens]].
